Ordered delivery for first time. Everything arrived quickly and everything arrived pretty good, their pho broth had so much flavor and reminded me of some very good true Vietnamese pho. The chicken and veggies was great. The rice was meh, but I don't generally eat a lot of rice with these dishes. I really enjoyed everything. Even the beef salad which was different because it was cold beef on lettuce. Which I'm just not sure to. Recommend a try. read more

This was a wonderful place. The food was served with patience and pure pleasure. The waitress was open and eager to explain the dishes and recommendations. We enjoyed the food and service. The ambiance was just nice. We had a table for two next to the well-kept fish tank. It was tranquil and enjoyable to watch and enjoy while we had our meal. This is an easy stop for delicious food and time to spend with your partner. We had a wonderful time. read more

This is seriously the BEST pho place in town!!! They have big menu but I love the pho here. This place has about 10 tables and if you go on the weekend it gets super busy. I would recommend calling to secure a reservation. There was only one person waiting on the tables so you may have to wait a while for your drinks and check. Overall I liked this place and I would go every week if I could. read more

Saigon - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Kaiserslautern, RP

Winter is Coming. Actually...winter is here. And I am not a fan. Moving to Germany from Savannah has been an adventure. I was prepared to adjust...new language, new rules, new food...I was NOT prepared for the weather. This cold situation is out of control. Thankfully, I have Saigon, and their warm-you-to-your-bones pho to make me feel better. Their broth is delicious, distinct from any pho I've had before (I think they use cinnamon) and it sets them apart from any Vietnamese place I've been before. They only have one kind of pho, but really, it's all you need. And you won't find the typical lime/jalapeno/cilantro add-ins, but I honestly don't miss them. Grubbing down on this amazing soup chases away the winter chill. Oh...and did I mention they have AMAZING spring rolls? And that their coffee with sweetened condensed milk is worth every last calorie? It is like drinking a shot of melted, warm Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream...in the best way possible. Oh, and lucky for all you non-driving kids, Siagon is conveniently located within walking distance of the K-Town train station. Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the pho is so delightful! read more

Where my Cali friends at ( who misses/craves pho )? You guys know how we do pho in California ;) This place is exceptional for pho, though. It's not the best BUT it will definitely fulfill your craving especially on a chilly day. They only have pho bo (12 euros). Avocado smoothie--get it. The smoothie was pricey 4.5 euros, but it was yummy. Our waiter was very kind, he spoke to me in Vietnamese and to my boyfriend in German-- all needs were met and he let us sample their plum beverage. Try this place and fulfill that craving! read more

What the Pho are you talking about?!!!? This restaurant is a hidden gem for you adventure seeking land lubbers who wish to experience South East Asian cuisine in the Deutschland... Look. No. Further. Dive in and experience a big bowl of Pho...enjoy the exquisite tastes of noodles, boiled meats, and broth. Want some texture!?!?! Look no further! Sprouts are provided for you to enjoy! Then you can wash it all down with beverage of your choice! On a serious note... I never had Pho before my visit to Kaiserslautern. It was a fun and unique experience you should have at least once. read more

This place most definitely made it to my list of the top worse dining experience, EVER. How it got all these 5 stars reviews? I have no clue because the reasoning isn't at all obvious in what I've experienced and witnessed during tonight's dinner service. Justin and I drove across town for this Vietnamese restaurant due to the wonderful reviews about them. I want my time, energy, and gas money back for this horrendous trip. This place was easy enough to find, but parking was scarce. We opted for the parking garage down the street and walked to Saigon. We arrived around 7PM. The server pointed to a table for us to sit down at. We did not get our menus instantly, so that gave us plenty of time to observe the place. There were 10 tables in this very small restaurant. Although there were a few other tables occupied, the whole restaurant was very quiet. They gave complimentary Vietnamese shrimp crackers for each table and had a tealight candle on a stand set up at each one. Every other guests' table got theirs lit out of orders throughout our visit, but never ours. We eventually got to ordering our food and beverages. I always prefer to order in the language the server seems most comfortable with to minimize or eliminate any confusions. I spoke to our server in Vietnamese and told him we'd like to start with the Goi Cuon (Spring Rolls) followed by the Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup) and Mi Xao Thap Cam (Combination Fried Noodles). Tell me why...When I ordered the fried noodles, HE ASKED ME WHAT NUMBER THAT ITEM WAS...Like, why in the hell does that matter? If it were the other way around, I'd understand. But dude, I literally just told you EXACTLY what that item is. I would hope the chef would know and have heard of the dish (that's right in your menu!). I did not see water/sparkling water on the menu and asked if they charged. He told me they do charge. We went ahead and ordered one glass of water along with a cola. He left without lighting the candle at our table OR taking the menus out of our way, even though Justin was clearly holding both our menus in sight to hand over to him. I have never in my life seen such disorganization at an establishment. More and more guests came bustling in while we waited, filling up all the remaining tables. The staff does not seem to work well together and have no set system. Some people were handed menus right away, some weren't. Same with the shrimp crackers. Same with taking orders. Same with the candles. It was chaos. The same two main servers running back and forth looking confused. The girl was about to bring out ANOTHER set of drinks for us because she didn't know it had already been brought out. She had a shocked look on her face as she stood there and stared at our table before heading to the back where I saw her gulping down the soda herself. The people who ordered after us got their food first. Apparently it wasn't even the right dish and they tried to send it back with no success. I saw the server guy bring it back out to them again and from what I could only assume, convinced them to eat it anyway. At this point, we have already been waiting over half an hour with only our drinks. Justin's water was halfway gone, my cola almost untouched because I did not want to fill up on soda before food. The spring rolls we ordered as an appetizer did not even come out. Until it did...to the wrong table, of yet, another patron who ordered after us. The patron once again told the server guy it's not his order, but he will just keep it anyways. This was a bit much for me at this point, so I did not hesitate to stop the server who tries rushing past our table every chance he gets. I told him we have not gotten our appetizer yet. He mumbled something as he continued to rush past me. When he came back out, I told him once again, "That guest you most likely gave our spring rolls to ordered after us. We have been waiting for a very long time." To which he replied distastefully, "He's been waiting a long time too." ...OKAY. First of all, every guests here have waited a long time due to the incompetent and snail service. The only thing they're quick at was dodging guests who needs them. I can clearly see that everyone there has waited a while. But you can't just switch up the order of things. 5 minutes later, Justin's food finally arrived. Not our appetizers. Not both our dish. Just his. I have HAD IT at this point. We got up and left. The server guy chased us while we walked down the street and said I can't just do that. Can't do what now? Leave after NOT drinking your beverage, NOT eating your food, waiting 40 minutes, and putting up with shitty service? MISS ME WITH THAT BULL. I could care less at that point if they have the best noodles in all the land. NOTHING is worth being treated like this. read more

My friends and I love this place. We are frequent regulars. We love the fresh spring rolls and the sauce is amazing! Then order the beef pho, sooo good. It's really hard to find an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Germany but this place is it! This is a tiny restaurant, family owned, so when it is very busy (which it is, esp on the weekends), expect to wait a while, but it's worth it. Highly recommend you make reservations early, esp. for large groups. Parking is a little difficult, so expect to look for some free spaces around the neighborhood or at the train station. read more

I grew up around Little Saigon in So Cal for most of my life so I am well aware of what good Vietnamese food should taste like and surely Viet food has become more or less a necessity for me. I live right near the Golden Drach in Landstuhl and I used to think that it was the best Viet food in the KL area but then I tried this place...wowwwww. Best Pho I've had in Germany, HANDS DOWN! The cha gio (vietnamese spring/egg rolls) was pretty darn good too. The owner was very pleasant and loved to talk about his food. Overall, great experience and great food. Also, it was very decently priced. read more

Great place to eat and very patient server. The menu items are numbered for easy ordering in any language (the owner's English/German is a valiant effort, but like I mentioned - patient!). iPhone users, beware! A search on Maps results in two Saigons. One of these, Saigon Bistro on Schmiedstraße, is the former location and no longer exists. The Saigon on Eisenbahnstraße is correct and delicious! It is near the train station, if that helps. Eat well! read more

Awesome place. Small buffet and it seems like everything is of excellent quality. The flat grill has kangaroo and shark on the options! Never had kangaroo. Friendly staff, speaks English. Duck in the buffet line is delicious. read more

Great place for your Vietnamese food fix. Being a pho lover, I was hoping for a more traditional styles deluxe pho. Instead the pho was pretty basic with basic ingredients. Don't get me wrong, it was still a delicious bowl but it just didn't have any of the deluxe ingredients you'd find in your typical pho back in the states. The pineapple duck was amzingggg! Great flavor, awesome plating, but could have used a touch more of a serving. Overall great place. read more

Came here with a large group of friends. Had a great time, good ambiance, not loud and big tables. Food was very good in general. Although my dish (tofu w/ wok veggies) was a bit too salty and had too many onions (felt like 50% of the veggies was onions). Service was very pleasant but slow. We had to wait quite awhile to order, get our food and order dessert. But definitely would go back! read more

Saigon is the best Vietnamese food in K-town. I have no doubt in my mind about this. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so be sure to make a reservation to eat here. Luckily, we were able to wait 10 minutes and they squeezed us in, but next time we will call ahead of time. Be warned, they are closed on Wednesdays. On a cooler day, we sat down for some authentic Pho. It did not disappoint. It had the richness of a broth made the right way, with maybe a little too much fat left in skimmed. However, it hit the spot and I am so happy I can get Pho whenever I want (except Wednesdays). Service can be a little slow, but I have become accustomed to this. They also offer hot pots for groups, which looked both delicious and fun. If you are having a Vietnamese craving, then definitely head to Saigon. read more

Saigon is delicious. Not sure if it's "authentic" but, it's a huge change to the same menu at most restaurants in Germany and its yummy. Very fresh tasting. We usually get the spring rolls as an appetizer and change things up for our main course. Everything is tasty. Downside? The service. Super slow. We once sat for an hour before getting our drinks and then waiting another hour before our food came out. Ugh. Even with poor service, we go back for the food. Highly recommend making reservations as they fill up pretty quick (and the restaurant is small) and get there early so you're not waiting all night for food. read more

Best Asian food in town. It's more expensive than other Asian restaurants but 100% worth it. The food is great and the staff is very attentive and nice. read more

First Asian restaurant I've been to in germany. Being from h-town it loses it's luster with just one pho choice. It's not bad, but it's not great either. read more

The Pho was Great! My friend and I were looking for a place on yelp and were very happy to find this place. It lived up to its expectations! Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Needed a Pho fix and got it! Be it that where I'm from, there are plethora of authentic Vietnamese cuisine, but here in Germany, especially in Kaiserslautern, this is really about the best you will get. The only reason why it's 4 star is due to the price. Sure will go back though! read more

I recently had jas surgery and needed some PHO like immediately...Trying to eat through a straw is horrible but someone recommended this place and I thought to give it a try. They were super helpful even after telling me I couldn't take the Pho home, since I normally blend my food. I instead drank the brought while my husband ate everything else..ice coffee with condense milk was divine and I ended up taking some of it home to mix with ice cream and ensure as another meal for me...My husband loved the fried rice with beef, chicken and pork and we took another order to go home....Will definitely be back again especially when I can chew my food again...Highly recommend...Gave it four stars because I really wanted to take the PHO home but I understand why it is not recommend by the owners...It would also be nice if they had other PHO choices but again loved the menu. read more

Saigon food isn't too bad. DO NOT order water. They charge 4.20 euro per glass.

I think the manager is racist. I walked into the restaurant today, and they had empty tables. The manager refused to seat me. In the meantime, a german couple walked in and got seated (and they didn't have any reservation). I repeatedly asked if the manager wanted me to leave, and he said yes. UNBELIEVABLE! I travel all over the world,a nd was never treated this way. read more

Love the prices! They range from €2.00-€20.00. I had the duck with pineapple, and it includes rice. It was not bad of a taste, I say this because the duck fried texture was a little bit over fried around the outer part, the inner part was moist. My husband had the duck curry, that was delicious! A little spicy, but I love the mild spiciness. To those who do not eat spicy, it might be best to ask or tell them to not add the spicy spice. My son had the shrimp fried rice. He said it was not that bad although he prefers the shrimp fried rice at china restaurant Imbiss (located near Vogelweh commissary). All in all I paid read more

The food was delicious, but it came nearly two hours after we ordered. The staff was mildly incompetent. Upon receiving the check, one learns that tap water, although not on the menu, costs over 3 euros. read more
